PRS 408, Faded Whale Blue 10 Top #0297830

Full Description

Focussed, versatile sound

The 408 showcases a great leap forward for PRS in pickup design. Uniquely wound, with a heap of tonal options at your disposal - the 408 pickups stem back from experimentation in the early 1980's. A narrowly wound bass pickup promotes much more focus in your bass notes, while the widening of the treble pickup maintains a much greater sound field for more freedom in your tone customisation. That's not even mentioning the two coil-tap switches, which enable you to alternate between humbucker and single-coil tones for a sonic palette that can't be competed with. Exceptional clarity and articulation comes under the signature quality of PRS. What else did you expect from the most dedicated luthiers in the industry?

Play without limits

Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity – not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the 408 is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fretboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, entailing endless hours of comfortable practice and performance. Enjoy effortless access to the upper frets with an ergonomic, dual-cutaway body design. So, whether you're shredding up high or unleashing fat, low-end riffs – the 408 offers a feel that's tailored for the player.

Innovate your sound

It doesn't stop at playability, though. A classic PRS Gen III Tremolo bridge opens up a new world of sonic possibilities. Dive bombs, vibrato – you name it. The 408 can do it all. And, thanks to its meticulous design, you can have confidence that your strings will return to their original tuning after you're done hammering your riffs away. Because PRS know what's required for world class performance, and they've delivered just that.

True individual style

It demands audience attention. With a finish so eye-catching and unique, how could it not? A flame top provides a breathtaking aesthetic, showcasing the 408's sumptuous grain pattern. But its elegant design isn't just limited to the body. The iconic PRS bird inlays dance across the silky-smooth fretboard for even more individual flair. Topped off with a striking faded whale blue finish, the 408 simply radiates one-of-a-kind style. So, whether you're rehearsing, or playing live – it's all eyes on you.
